Documenting Love: Alyssa & Daniel's Story

Welcome to our Documenting Love series where we capture people's love stories through photos and the written word. This may be one of our favorite weekly series! Check out the gallery and read the couples love story below. Keep in mind that we ask the couples to answer the questions separately so we can draw parallels between their experiences and, you know, say a collective, "Ahhhhhhh!" If you or someone you know wants to be featured in this series, please get in touch with us, gmwynkoop@sbgtv.com.

AlyssaThe first memory I have of Daniel is the day we were scheduled to pick up our freshmen class schedule. I saw him in the hall, he had long curly hair and Abercrombie ripped jeans. I thought he was the hottest guy and had to make him mine.

DanielMy first memory of Alyssa is seeing her at a middle school football games.

AlyssaI’m proud of Daniel's dedication to his goals and his determination.

DanielI'm proud of Alyssa for everything. The life we are building together is largely attributed to her.

AlyssaAfter we started officially dating, I knew a month or so in that I was head over heels in love with him and needed him in my life.

DanielI’ve always had feelings for Alyssa but the timing was never right. When we officially started dating, I knew there was no going back.

AlyssaSounds corny, but what sets our relationship apart is our love. We’ve been attracted to each other since we were 15. The timing was always off but there was always something deeper. Our love is the "can’t breath with out you, I’ll die with out you kind of love."

DanielI didn’t tell anyone about the proposal. She knew though. I made reservations at a nice Italian restaurant. We were super nervous the whole time and focused on each other.

AlyssaHe made reservations for dinner on Christmas Eve. I knew something was up. I wasn’t sure because he kept saying how he wanted to wait. I painted my nails just in case! That night at dinner felt like our first date all over again. We were nervous, shy, and couldn’t keep our eyes off each other.

DanielShe’s honestly a good person and she’s going to be the best mom.

DanielThe thing I love most about Alyssa is her humor, and her empathy.
